Shindo: Revenge of the Fifth

May 5, 2026 7:15-8:30pm
Orange belts and up have the opportunity to try shindo! Come on out to train and learn a super cool new skill!

Shindo is an extension of Shintani Karate, utilizing similar techniques and movements while applying these using a short "Bo". This 3 foot staff is used mainly in defense and can be manipulated to block, counter, strike, and throw, while allowing us to further refine our Waza.

In class, students had the chance to realistically apply techniques and principles with the help of some extra padding and a very brave Sensei.

Are you an Orange Belt or higher and interested in learning Shindo? Come and give it a try Saturdays 9:30 - 10:45am!
